Yes. It seemed that we appreciated what we had more back then. Even the little things had value and brought joy.
Something as tiny and finding an over ripe berry bush, long past season, and having our mother make us kids pancakes or a cobbler out of them. Of course the pride that went along with being the one responsible for providing the berries for the treat, made it all taste so much better.
Very little was taken for granted back then, even though we had so much less.
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.
